Agreed, good either way

does that make me the new chief engineer? :D

@Sarah
Unfortunately no, the senior engineer survived by being in the engineering section when the ship was cored.

Pausing here. First of all if you have any IC questions/comments/concerns now is a good time to ask the admiral although as he said the details of the next mission are classified. Also for you new people if you would like to phase out the old character and introduce a new one this is also the time to do it.

Sarah is showing up at the briefing :D

T'Saen as well

  I'm fine with things as they are. No need to stop on my account.

 I'll be there at the meeting - just catching up on some RL issues over the next handful of days ... :(

I'm down. Are we going to skip to that, or rp a little R&R?

I was giving our (apparently) departed captain one last chance to respond before continuing on. Oh well. I'll NPC him until we can get a replacement.

Hey everyone! I'm the new Garrity! I'll be trying to get caught up on the adventures so far over the next little while. But in the meantime, Imma just jump in the deep and see what happens.

Looking forward to gaming with you all.

welcome to the team :) we look forward to playing with you John :)

Welcome! ^_^

Jump! Jump!  Jump!

And welcome

As is customary I am fine continuing the scene for as long as you'd like however if you feel like you've done what you want to do and said what you've wanted to say then drop a comment here so that I know you're ready to move on.

I've added a crew roster. It will be mostly blank for now but as you add crewman as per RAW we can add them there.

   Sadly, I have to report that I won't be able to continue with the Doctor any further. Real-life has barged in and raised a ruckus that I need to tend to, and I'd prefer to bow out now before the next adventure begins. It's been interesting, but I need to tend to things out *there* in the 'Verse before I can become comfortable being back in here.

   Good luck to the rest of you, and happy adventuring. :)

I'm ready :)

Am i with the greeting party or on the ship? as one of the engineers I see little point of me leaving the ship to greet out centurion friend.  That'd be up to John though :)

While you might not be officially part of the greeting party you could easily be on the station coordinating for supplies or taking on other crewmen.

I would rather not force players out of a scene if possible.

As an alternative you could also whip up a security crewmen to guard the prisoner honored guests...

your trying to tempt me into causing an international incident aren't you GM :D

Who me? Couldn’t be! My job is to make your missions as smooth and uninteresting as possible...

so two options here :) either one could be what Sarah would do, should i direct our ferengi to John to see how he handles it, or should I make a scene and openly call him a con artist :P

Up to you but we need an answer :P

We also need to figure out where your first stop is going  to be: W2, W3, or W4. Because of the intereference from the Nebula there isn't any information to go on right now but once you are past the Nebula I'll mark out areas of interest the long range scanners detect.

I voted W3, its in the middle and would give us the best  chance of seeing as much as we can in the region before moving onto W2

I don't want to derail the narrative, or lose any momentum, or split the party and make anyone bored, so if anyone/everyone thinks it's better to just sum-up the Ferengi meeting, and/or decide it with a roll, that's cool.

fine by me :) btw what is john's current rank? I'm currently sick and staring at the screen for too long is giving me a headache, so if possible I'd rather not have to search through all of the posts in the to boldly go if I can help it. Having the flu sucks.
